    Catalytic Converter

    The rear O2 sensors are very easy to replace. Driver's side front is tough, but doable. I haven't been able to get out the passenger side front as the transmission is in the way. Fronts are for the fuel injection to determine the correct air fuel ratio. The rears are what determines if the CAT...

    Catalytic Converter

    Oxygen sensors may begin to lose their efficiency after 100k miles. My T4R was well over the 100k mark so that is why I decided to replace the sensors first. Catalytic converters usually go bad from low RPM and infrequent use. I drive mine daily and usually on the highway, minimizing the...

    Are you more Liberal or Conservative?

    If so many people claim to be conservative, why then do the radical liberals have control? Be sure to get out and vote against the liberals. They want power and have found it by getting the zero liability voter to vote for them. Is it any surprise the Feds won't protect our borders from...

    Catalytic Converter

    While driving my V6 4Runner on a highway trip with about 123000 miles on the vehicle, my check engine light and VSC light came on. I brought it to the dealer the next day. The dealer charged me $110 to check the code. They tell me the code PO430 means my catalytic converter is not working to...

    100k - 200k mile 4th gen v6's post up

    I have 120k on my 2004 T4R Sport. So far so good. I went through a set of front calipers after the originals froze at about 70k. I run NGK Iridium spark plugs and have the oil changed every 5k miles. I've had a K&N filter in the stock airbox since it was new and have cleaned it a couple of...

    Stupid Service Department Trying To Rip Me Off!!

    That's a shame. But not all dealers are that way. My dealership has been nothing but fair with me as long as I have been a customer there. Six Toyotas and 12 years later that still treat me like a valued customer.

    Adding Bluetooth to '05 4Runner Limited

    I do have my heart set on that AVIC-F700BT. It's the right solution for me. BTW, where is the display for the T605?

    Adding Bluetooth to '05 4Runner Limited

    I'm not sure if it is the same harness but you can get the correct one here . No the iPod will not integrate but I wish it would. I'm looking at the Pioneer AVIC-F700BT to intergrate everything together.

    Pioneer AVIC-F700BT Installed + Antenna location surprise

    I'm thinking about putting one of these units in mine. How do you like yours? Can you post some pics of the install?

    Adding Bluetooth to '05 4Runner Limited

    I'm not sure about the Motorola T605 you have but I do have a parrot CK3100 and Crutchfield was able to supply a plug and play harness. Using their harness, all I had to do was connect the harness and two power wires and it was done.

    Alum. Wheels

    This happened to my wheels as well. All five of them are damaged and look terrible. It must have been something I used to clean them. Like drmorbius said, once they blister they begin to oxidize and there's no stopping it without a complete refinish job.
